Food For The Gods - Main Cast

Main Cast

• Yvette Lu as Sheenyana -- a beautiful Kyontawa warrior with powerful psychic abilities. She is a niece to the tribe's king and queen. The royal couple raised her after the death of her parents and she remains a trusted political and military advisor, aided by her ability to see the future. She is a mentor to her first cousin, Princess Xionko. After a NASA expedition from Earth lands in her forest, Sheenyana soon falls in love with American astronaut Lt. Richard O'Conner.
• Danny Dorosh as Lt. Richard O'Conner -- a United States Naval aviator, who pilots NASA's first faster-than-light mission to the Kyontawa homeworld in the Alpha Centauri system. Like the rest of his crew, he is stunned to discover another planet populated by humans, but he falls deeply in love with Sheenyana—and engages in an affair despite a warning from his commanding officer. Concerned for the well being of the Kyontawa people, Richard begins to question their mission on this world.
• Taka Hiro as Shogoto -- Chief or King of Kyontawa, he is the tribe’s monarch and presides over the Chief Council, the kingdom’s governing body. He has a wife, Shogami, and daughter, Princess Xionko, his heir. He and Shogami raised their niece, Sheenyana, after the death of her parents. He loves her dearly and looks to her for council—a source of envy for his own daughter, Xionko.
• Beverly Wu as Xionko -- the crown princess, she holds the official title of Her Royal Highness, Xionko, Princess Heir of Kyontawa. A beautiful young woman with a tendency towards pampered vanities, she is extremely jealous of her first cousin, Sheenyana’s, elevated standing with her parents. Ironically, she also shows signs of caring deeply for Sheenyana and looks up to her as an older mentor. But it is her impulsive and manipulative nature that gets the best of her when she decides to expose Sheenyana’s affair with Richard, steal a laser weapon (nearly killing herself in the process), and plunge two sides into a cultural clash that could rip Sheenyana and Richard apart...or worse.
• Tara Pratt as Dr. Denise Hanson -- a Canadian medical mission specialist on the NASA crew. She confirms that Sheenyana’s DNA is human/homo sapiens. There are hints that she may harbor an attraction for Richard, but she shares Richard’s concern for the plight of Sheenyana’s people.
• Shaker Paleja as Lt. Cmdr. Monroe Bellwood -- a by-the-book US Navy officer, he is the mission commander of Earth’s first faster-than-light mission to a world outside our own solar system. Like any C.O. his primary concern regards the safety of his crew and the success of their mission. Bellwood is unprepared for Richard’s first contact encounter with an alien, but human woman on a planet light-years from Earth. Especially when it is revealed that she may be royalty, he warns his lieutenant to “keep it in your pants.”
• Yuki Morita as Shogami -- queen of the Kyontawa, wife to Shogoto, and mother of the crown princess, Xionko. She is a matriarch very much in the Asian tradition. She raised her niece, Sheenyana, when Sheenyana’s parents died, and loves her dearly—a source of envy for Xionko, who sometimes feels slighted by her parents in favor of her older cousin.
• Amanda Louie as Ree -- a six year old Kyontawa child and member of the Kyontawa royal family.
